Synopsis..
low pressure around 29.7 inches drifts northeastward through quebec early this morning. Its cold front has already crossed two thirds of the lake, and will stall near the southern end of the lake today as the warm front of an approaching low pressure system collides with it. Thus, north to northeast winds are expected across the majority of lake michigan today, with the fastest winds (up to 30 kts) in central lake michigan. Expecting light and variable winds over the southern third of the lake (near the stalled front) and south winds at the far southern tip of the lake.
modest east to southeast winds will then develop over all of the lake tonight as the stalled front moves north as a warm front. Brisk east winds, possibly reaching gale force, are expected over the northern tip of the lake late tonight into Monday morning. Breezy south winds will develop over the remainder of the lake on Monday.
areas of fog may form over the lake today, especially the southern half. SEveral rounds of showers and Thunderstorms are expected between now and Monday.
